Turner Hastings has spent the last four years playing the
part of mild-mannered librarian and part-time bank teller
in her small Wisconsin town. When two bumbling robbers in
silly masks pull out sawed-off shotguns one Saturday
morning, the commotion provides Turner with the opportunity
she's been waiting for -- she steals the contents of the
bank president's safe deposit box and leaves town.
Special Agent John MacKinnon resents being assigned to a
small-time bank robbery in a remote area of Wisconsin,
until he spots the woman on the bank's security video. As
John searches for the intriguing thief, he locates her cell
phone number. On a whim, he calls her, and the furtive
conversations between the FBI agent and his suspect draw
them closer together. Turner is determined to accomplish
the mission she set for herself four long years ago,
despite the temptation offered by the voice on the phone.
John's pursuit of Turner is more than just a professional
duty and his desire to capture her has little to do with
her crime.
Julia Harper, (who also writes historical romance as
Elizabeth Hoyt) creates realistic and satisfying
erotic encounters that are sure to please. Hero John
MacKinnon knows how to fulfill a woman's fantasies and
Turner Hastings is a woman in need of escape. The pages
turn quickly, especially once the cell phone conversations
heat things up. From the crazy bank robbery beginning to
the sizzling conclusion, this sexy contemporary romance is
totally HOT.
For four years, play-by-the-rules bank teller Turner
Hastings has brooded over her uncle's wrongful
imprisonment. But when two bumbling crooks stumble into her
branch (barely disguised in Yoda and Sponge Bob masks) and
hold up the place, she sees a chance to do something she's
never thought possible: get revenge. She takes advantage of
the melee to pull a heist of her own, seizing info from a
security box that will exonerate her uncle.
Sent to investigate a bank robbery in small town Wisconsin,
Special Agent John MacKinnon discovers the robbers were two
not-quite-so-bright thugs and one woman. Now, Turner is on
the run. With SA MacKinnon on her trail, she's breaking
into the bank president Calvin's house, kidnapping his
Great Dane, and for the first time in her life, setting out
to break a few rules. But when Calvin hires a hit-man,
MacKinnon will have to decide between his career--and
saving Turner.
